Is yours an earlyish one? The controller needs to be one of the newer FP4 versions for SimCNC. If you look on the front of the CSMIO, you should see FP4 in small writing to the right hand side below the yellow bar.

Here is where it will say fp4.

I did have a reply from CS Labs today regarding my issue of not being able to connect to the IPA and was told I needed to update the firmware -
To use simCNC you need CSMIO firmware v3.xxx.
Update the firmware to see your MAC address.
I did but from my old PC running Win XP using the boot loader v3.6 it worked fine but I still couldn't connect to the IPA with my new PC which is running WIN 10.
Very confused is it because of any security settings within Win 10 or something else ?
Hood My unit is FP 4-10.
To clear up any confusion
I bought my mill already converted and it came with a PC running Win XP and Mach 3 which is ok but the PC is very old and has frozen a few times so rather than wait for it to go wrong I would rather get it changed.
It just so happened I had a decent one doing nothing it has an AMD Ryzen 5 3400G Processor 16Gb Ram and a PCIE SSD more than needed for Sim CNC.
Sorry to bring an old thread back from the dead, but seemed to be the logical place to post.
I finally finished my upgrade to an IP-A, but need to add controls in the SimCNC software for a second spindle.
I'd like to use M13/14/15 and can see I need to add the M code macros, and also assign in Device script, but can't see how to tie that to the relevant outputs.
Does anyone have an idea how this may be achieved?
